Royals will need a lot more than 3 runs to beat the Yankees. A LOT more. 
I think they’re going to get pounded.

The Orioles should’ve swept this series. Even a below average offense and they’d be in position to sweep. They just completely no showed.

In and out taking in this game. Why so long for a 2-1 score?

[Sports Guy]

KC has 12 left on. It’s not like they are hitting well even if they are getting chances. 3 damn runs and they can win this series.

A ton of pitching changes. A couple challenges.

How many pitches will it take.  Take a guess.  My bet is 11

Last year was far worse. They weren't even competitive aside from the first game. 

This is certainly deflating, but expectations were much lower since we've seen this song and dance for months during the regular season.

But last year they at least could score.  They had 8 runs in Game 2.

[LookitsPuck]

Pitching did their jobs. Only 3 runs in 2 games, you'd fully expect to at least win 1 of them.

But this offense has been painstakingly awful. 

[Sports Guy]

Alright, you made Erceg work yesterday.  Can you take advantage of that today?

They’ve given up 3 runs in 2 games and are about to get swept. Couldn’t ask for a more deflating sweep. 

The Dodgers scored 2 runs in the 1966 World Series and were shut out in the last 33 innings. Ask Palmer about it sometime.

Basallo is far from ready. Did we not learn from Holliday and Mayo this year?

The lesson I think is how much readier can Basallo or anyone get at AAA.

Taxes could have been paid sooner.

Don’t see how they don’t make major changes after this loss. This team is broken. 

After a week or so they will start talking about how great the farm is and that this is still a young team and blah blah blah. I was all about the blah blah blah after the playoffs last year but now this is a trend. I'm legit concerned this team doesn't have it. Worst part is the holdovers from the rebuild years aren't the issue. The young core is suspect. The can't-miss farm guys are suspect. The future of the rotation is suspect.

I don't know.. I don't remember being this angry last year

He'll be trade fodder because of samuel basallo. 

Who in their right mind is going to trade for Mountcastle?

They are not a particularly good hitting team. They have what 2/3 good hitters?
